I asked what you were doing to remind you that it's important to recognize your own weaknesses and work on making yourself the best person possible. (And you know I say "you" meaning all of us here, right?) It also helps you shift your focus from your spouse onto yourself.
Having fun with new people...definitely a key. What would be something completely out of your comfort zone? Have we already talked about this? Sorry, only got a couple hours of sleep and I'm already forgetful. I'm all for watching football at the bar to meet new people. What about an adult education class? Cooking, wine appreciation, landscape design, ballroom dance, woodworking... Those are my interests but you get the idea. Even if you end up hating it at least you tried it once!
My philosophy was to never say no to an invitation, no matter what it was. Have you seen the Jim Carrey movie [i]Yes Man[i]? Love it! I recommend it to everyone, it will inspire your GAL activities.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
